send "subCheckNow" to me, or?

Rev 2.6.1 / OS X

Greetings,

Is it better to use "send" or just use the name of the handler?

on subCheckNow
   -- do stuff here
   send "subCheckNow" to me
end subCheckNow

Or this?

on subCheckNow
   -- do stuff here
   subCheckNow
end subCheckNow


Is the second even allowed? And, if it is allowed, is their any ill 
effects from doing this?


Thanks,
-Garrett
